Tennessee River

When we came into Aqua Yacht Harbor last night the dock office was closed.  We waited until they opened up this morning to add fuel before we headed up stream.

We had a very nice conversation with Bob from Milwaukee as we fueled.  He gave us some tips on places to stop on the Tennessee.  He and Barbie are headed to the same marina we are next week to leave their boat for a while.  Very nice couple and we are looking forward to meeting up with them again.

We found a couple of the spots Bob talked about and dropped anchor for a while.  I took the kayak out to secure a line to shore.

The Captain went ashore to secure a line.

We were in no hurry today as we only needed to travel 40 miles up to Florence Alabama to meet up with Rachael.

 She flew into Huntsville so we rented a car to go pick her up.  The three of us had a nice dinner at a Mexican restaurant and then explored Florence a little before settling in on the boat.

We may go upstream tomorrow and then come back to the same marina tomorrow night.  Our agenda is very flexible the next few days so we may just go with the flow and not really plan things.
